Summary/Abstract: The world goes on as usual – unpredictably. Both main areas of severe dissent and war conditions, Ukraine and Gaza, remain unsettled. The world awaits Donald Trump to see what he will do, since he pledged to end both conflicts in a day, more or less. After 6 months, he has learned that the task was much more complicated than a man of his ability could resolve. He has demonstrated a short attention span and prefers quick wins, to which the world of diplomacy is quite unsuited and where the temperament required is one of patience and more patience. However, he is quite prepared to try bullying to get his way, ideal for his narcissist personality and the world has to come to terms with this.
